Women's 400m

So a new controversy within the Olympic wins has arose. Last night in the women's 400m Shaunae Miller dove over the finish line to beat USA favorite Allyson Felix. Is that allowed? The rule states: "The first athlete whose torso … reaches the vertical plane of the closest edge of the finish line is the winner." Well I suppose it is legal, but I don't think it should be. I think once your body is down on the ground then that should be it, you are out. Although, the NFL has a similar rule when it comes to touchdowns. when you are running for a touchdown all you have to do is get the ball to touch inside the orange pilon. You don't even have to cross. That being said Allyson Felix did win the silver medal making her the most decorated U.S. female track athlete of all time. Way to go Allyson!!
